I've been trying for a while now to figure out what is causing the distortion in my videos. Here is an example without and with this distortion:

It sort of resembles screen tearing. I posted once before here if you want more information, but my current thought is that it is being caused by a hard drive write speed bottleneck. I have tried h264 and h265 (both NVENC) lossless (qp=0) and high bitrate recordings, and all of them run into the same problem. During my tests I didn't see my CPU or GPU being overloaded, but it seemed as though my hard drive was reaching 100% occasionally.
My first question is pretty simple, is this a probable cause? I really don't understand how encoders write to a drive, so I am just assuming they can't buffer frames to write later. But maybe I'm wrong, idk.
If this is the case, is there any way I can test this theory other than just tabbing out during a recording and checking my disk in the task manager? I didn't see anywhere in log files where this sort of information is displayed.
Lastly, if this is indeed the issue, what can I do about it, other than just recording less data? Is there a setting I can use somewhere that will cap bitrate dynamically? Thank you in advance for your help.
